About this game

Hugo 2 is a platform game released on April 15, 1999, for PlayStation. Developed by Silverrock Productions and published by ITE Media, it follows Hugo as he attempts to rescue his wife, Hugoline, and their children, Rit, Rat, and Rut.

The family has been captured by the wicked witch Scylla, also known as Hexana in Germany and Afskylia in the original Danish version. Hugo must overcome the obstacles scattered throughout the troll woods and restore peace. Hugo—and sometimes Scylla—communicates directly with the player through digitized speech, including interactions that break the fourth wall.
